Online gambling, launched in Antigua and Barbuda in 1994, turned into a flourishing and multi-billion worldwide business. Online casino games, such as blackjack, pachinko, roulette, keno, poker, craps, bingo, sic bo, are played in almost all corners of the world. Why they became so popular? What are the ingredients of their success?

Firstly, it is apt to human nature to play games. It is one of our powerful instincts to compete with somebody, to win, and to become a Number 1! It relates to sport, to business, to our whole life. We need new challenges, we need adrenalin, we want to be winners. Women dislike losers, and we do our best to conquer their hearts with our vociferous victories. Those guys in Antigua and Barbuda who put a stake on our play-hard-game instinct just hit the bull`s eye.

Secondly, in a lot of countries of the world, the "brick and mortar" casinos are completely prohibited. It relates to India, China, Ukraine, and the majority of American states, excluding Nevada and Louisiana. Surely, this list is not complete. The list of countries with serious restrictions for traditional casinos is considerably longer. Almost all European Union countries have more or less significant restrictions, the same relates to Russia.

Thirdly. Well-rolled online casinos bring enormous profits for their owners. Total revenue statistics of online gambling is difficult to find out. It is thoroughly hushed up. Some experts affirmed that in 2005 it was $12 billion, in 2010 it was approximate $29.3 billion. In 2017 it is expected to be $44 billion dollars. Personally, I guess the real figures are several times higher. For comparison, we can mention that the gross revenues of traditional land based casinos were more than $450 billion in 2016.

Fourthly. Many people condemn implicitly and criticize explicitly those who enjoy casino excitement. If you are a well-respected person who works as a state official, a University lecturer, or some other public sphere employer or employee, surely, you don`t want to be pinpointed in the casino by some mass media watchdog. The best variant for your casino passion satisfaction is an online casino. Nobody will know about your gambling heat.

Surely, we did not reveal all the reasons of the skyrocketing online casino popularity in the present day world. But the key moments, in our humble opinion, we managed to catch. Without any doubts, the tendency for soaring profits in the sphere of online casino gambling will continue, and those who want to establish a start-up there will not make a mistake.
